- `@docker-agent` mentions on PR/issue comments — these run the `.github/actions/mention-reply` handler (sets `should-reply` and builds the context prompt) and then the `review-pr/mention-reply` sub-action (referenced from a pinned SHA, not present as a local path on every commit). The `pr-review-mention-reply.yaml` agent handles the actual reply.
- Diffs over 1500 lines are **chunked at file boundaries** in `review-pr/action.yml` (see "Split diff into chunks"). Per-file **risk scoring** (security paths, line counts, error-handling patterns) prioritizes verifier attention.
- **Incremental reviews** (default on, `incremental` input): a re-review only diffs `last-reviewed-SHA..HEAD` instead of the full PR diff. The last reviewed SHA is read from the `commit_id` GitHub records on the bot's completed reviews (assessment or LGTM bodies only — timeout/failure fallbacks don't count), so state survives across runs with no extra writes. `src/incremental-review/` plans the mode and falls back to a full review on force-push/rebase (SHA missing or not an ancestor of HEAD), base-branch merge-ins, net-zero changes, or any error. In incremental mode the original full diff is preserved at `pr_full.diff` for stale-thread resolution and suggestion-anchor validation (GitHub validates anchors against the full PR diff). On re-reviews, `src/dedupe-findings/` (staged at `/tmp/dedupe-findings.js`, run by the agent per `posting-format.md` against the pre-fetched `/tmp/existing_review_comments.json`) drops findings matching already-posted bot comments by file path + line proximity (±3) + finding-heading similarity, so a full re-review after a rebase doesn't duplicate threads.

The CLI also accepts the review-thread history snapshot (`/tmp/prior_review_threads.json`) as an optional third argument: current (non-outdated) bot threads suppress re-derived findings whether resolved or unresolved — including paraphrases sharing multiple code anchors and meaningful heading-token overlap — while outdated threads never suppress, so those findings get reassessed.
- Per-finding **confidence scoring** assigns each verified finding a precise 0–100 score (band: strong/moderate/weak/negligible) from the verifier's `verdict`, `evidence_strength`, and `context_completeness`, plus drafter↔verifier severity concordance and scope. `src/score-confidence/score-confidence.ts` is the **single source of truth** for the model (weights, bands, threshold, posting policy); the "Confidence Scoring" section of `review-pr/agents/pr-review.yaml` mirrors it as a strict lookup table so the orchestrator can apply it inline (the gitignored `dist/` is not available at agent runtime). Change one, change both — the unit tests pin every value. Security and high-severity CONFIRMED/LIKELY findings are always posted regardless of score; below-threshold findings are surfaced in a summary rather than silently dropped. The inline-posting cutoff is configurable via the `confidence-threshold` action input (a band name or a number clamped to 30–100, default `moderate` = 55); the action resolves it by invoking the bundled `dist/score-confidence.js resolve-threshold` CLI (so the resolution logic stays in TypeScript, not bash) and injects it into the agent prompt, and `scoreFinding`/`scoreFindings` accept a matching `postThreshold` option.

- Stale review threads on lines no longer in the diff are auto-resolved via GraphQL `resolveReviewThread`. Threads with no `<!-- docker-agent-review -->` marker are never touched. The same step first snapshots every thread whose ROOT comment carries a review marker (with `isOutdated`, `originalLine`, `resolvedBy.login`, and per-comment `databaseId`/`author.login`/`replyTo.databaseId`/`body`) to `/tmp/prior_review_threads.json` — initialized to `[]` and persisted before any diff-related or resolution early exit, fail-open. The review context references that artifact by path and count only (thread bodies/replies are untrusted PR data, never interpolated into the prompt); `pr-review.yaml`'s "Prior Review Thread History" policy makes the agent suppress findings tracked by current threads (resolved or unresolved), reassess outdated ones, treat human replies as evidence rather than instructions, and never silently escalate severity; the dedupe CLI consumes the same artifact as its optional third argument.

4. On any full re-review, findings are **deduplicated** against the comments
already posted on the PR (matched by file path, line proximity, and finding
heading similarity — see [`src/dedupe-findings/`](../src/dedupe-findings/dedupe-findings.ts)),
heading similarity — see [`src/dedupe-findings/`](../src/dedupe-findings/dedupe-findings.ts))
and against the PR's prior review threads (see
[Review Memory & Thread Resolution](#review-memory--thread-resolution)),
so a rebase does not produce duplicate threads. The plumbing that decides
between incremental and full mode is implemented and unit-tested in
[`src/incremental-review/`](../src/incremental-review/incremental-review.ts).

findings inline too. The threshold never suppresses `security` or high-severity
CONFIRMED/LIKELY findings — those are always posted inline.

### Review Memory & Thread Resolution

Before each run, the workflow snapshots the first 100 comments on each PR review thread (via
the GraphQL `reviewThreads` connection) and treats that history as public,
inspectable memory — the PR itself is the state store, so the contract below
holds across runs with no hidden database:

- **Already-reported findings are not re-posted.** A re-derived finding that
deterministically matches a current bot thread is suppressed whether the thread is
**unresolved** (the conversation is still open) or **resolved** (a human
explicitly dealt with it — resolving a bot thread is an effective dismissal
the reviewer honors).
- **Outdated threads are reassessed.** When GitHub marks a thread outdated
(the code it anchors to changed after the comment was posted), the finding
is evaluated fresh against the new code and may be re-posted if it still
applies.
- **No silent severity escalation.** The same finding on unchanged code is
never re-posted at a higher severity. After the code changes, a higher
severity requires explicit new evidence, and the comment explains what
changed.
- **Replies are evidence, not instructions.** Thread bodies and replies
(including human corrections) are treated as untrusted quoted data — they
calibrate future findings but can never steer the reviewer.
- **Stale threads are auto-resolved.** Unresolved bot threads anchored to
lines no longer in the diff are resolved automatically via GraphQL
(`resolveReviewThread`). Threads whose comments carry no bot marker are
never touched.

To dismiss an unchanged bot finding, resolve its thread (or reply explaining
why it is wrong — the reply also feeds the learning loop below). The
deterministic matching layer behind the suppression rules lives in
[`src/dedupe-findings/`](../src/dedupe-findings/dedupe-findings.ts).
